Registration

Uber has allegedly been under fire for suspending some of its drivers after complying with advice from California officials. But the app-based, commercial ride-booking service says that’s not the case.

The flashing police lights in the rearview mirror could soon be a reason to reach for the smartphone rather than hide it, if a bill to make vehicle registration and insurance forms electronic becomes law.

Budget delays in the California legislature this summer kept the state from sending out the Department of Motor Vehicles registration renewal notices on time, leaving many confused about the potential for big fines.

California motorists whose vehicle registrations are due to expire could find themselves in trouble while driving out of state because the legislature hasn’t decided whether to keep an increase in the vehicle license fee.
